I was lucky enough to receive a sample from the publisher and now I hate that I don’t have the complete length novel because it concluded when it was becoming more interesting!

It’s a continuation of the first two volumes in the series, and the mystical scene is becoming more mysterious and whimsical. There are characters that will discover new skills and powers and the journey to what the futures reserves is as appealing as always.

I received a partial ARC (sampler) of this book from NetGalley and Bloomsbury in return for an honest review.

This is a short sampler from the third book in the Cursebreakers trilogy, A Vow so Bold and Deadly. We get the first chapter from the POV of each of our main protagonists, Grey, Rhen, Harper and Lia Mara (note: these are not the first four chapters of the book, just each character's first chapter).

Reading this, I am reminded of how far this story has evolved. It is a long way from the Beauty and the Beast reimagining that was Book 1 and it has truly become its own fantasy story with magic, battles and political intrigue. In this sampler, we get to see where each of our main characters finds themselves in the aftermath of the events in book 2. Just this brief glimpse was enough to remind me of all the trials and challenges facing these 4 and whet my appetite to get back into the world of Emberfall as quickly as possible. With war looming and friends and family being pitted against each other, this book looks like it will be full of twists and turns as well as heartbreak along the way and I am very much looking forward to reading the conclusion of this drama.

I would definitely recommend readers of YA fantasy to use the time between now and January (when this book is published) to catch up on books 1 and 2 (A Curse so Dark and Lonely and A Heart so Fierce and Broken) so you are ready for Book 3.

Before reading this sampler, I was already so excited to read the final book in this series, but now I am even more excited and I need this book right now.

I can’t wait for ‘A Vow So Bold and Deadly’ to be released so I can finally read it. This series is just so good!!

How can the sample end here!! I need to know what happens next!

From the first scene alone, i already felt like i had been transported back to Emberfall, and it was so nice to read about these characters again. I'm not sure what i'll do once i've finished this series, (probably reread the whole thing straight after!), but i can't wait to have this 3rd book in my hands!! Just look at that cover! And i'm so pleased that all the covers and titles match in this series (another small joy!)

You can see that stakes are pretty high in this book, there's the pressure of a war between Emberfall and Syhl Shallow, and there's also conflict between some of the characters (cough cough Harper and Rhen). I'm so glad that all 4 four of our main characters (Harper, Rhen, Grey and Lia Mara) have been given perspectives in this book, because i think it'll just add to the tension of the whole story!

Thank you Bloomsbury Publishing for providing the sampler!
Once again I can't wait for this book's release!!

✨A Vow So Bold and Deadly (sample) ✨

Thank you to Netgalley, Brigid Kemmerer and Bloomsbury for a chance to read an excerpt.

I am so beyond excited for January, I can’t wait to read the whole book!
The excerpt neatly brings us up to speed with the events that occurred during the previous two books as well as giving us a glimpse of what has occurred between AHSFAB and AVSBAD. One things for sure, if thats how the book has started then I absolutely CANNOT wait to experience the rest! One of the things I love most about this book is Harper, how she once saw her Cerebral Palsy as a weakness but accepted it and embraced it, all the while being fierce and strong. I can’t wait to see how she develops!

A Vow So Bold and Deadly, the stunning finale to The Cursebreaker series releases in January 2021! I have already preordered, you should too😉

I am so freaking excited for VOW! I’m lucky to be on the street team (Cursebreakers for the win!!) so have been blessed with the chapters in this sampler. January can’t arrive soon enough so I can see what happens.
Will Lia Mara be able to rule? Will Grey truly fight against Rhen? Will Harper see the truth in what’s going on? Will Rhen redeem himself and get off the naughty step?

We shall see!
